Ellie laughed with her friend. It must have been the spirit of Hogsmeade, but everything seemed cheerful and happy here. Laughing seemed so easy, even though life was twisted at that moment. Ellie was just glad she had some time left to spend it with her closest friends. Chuckling, she nodded. "It's probably a good idea that we don't order the whole menu. I guess I'll go first." Stepping up to the counter, she pulled her money purse out and ordered some milk chocolate fudge, a couple chocoballs and a chocolate frog. Nothing better than all that chocolate.

While she finished paying and was waiting for her order, Ellie turned to Emma and listened to her dilemma. She nodded and then frowned a little bit, deep in thought. Ellie thought back to the time when she really liked Alex and wanted to be with him. "I do think that just bringing it up out of blue can cause some awkwardness." She told her friend. "What I did with Alex is... I kept on hanging out with him and kind of flirted with him until he finally kissed me. But not all guys are just gonna do that. I think you should bring it up when the time is right." Ellie grabbed her bag off the counter. "Y'know when it's just you two and things are quiet, maybe you could ease in the topic by saying how great you two are together, like how much fun you have together. Maybe he'll get the hint." She said with a light shrug and a smile. Ellie couldn't help but wonder if this boy happened to be Braeden; she had mentioned before that she had a crush on him. But she waited to ask.

The blonde giggled as Ellie agreed with her. "Oh why not!" she exclaimed, teasingly, and grinning evily. :mwhaha: Next time.. The blonde waited until Ellie was done and then she purchased her things as well. Handing over the money, she took a step back to stand next to Ellie.

Emma nodded. "Right. I've tried that. So we met up at the Three Broomsticks and I began by saying how much I really enjoy hanging out with him and he said the same thing. And I've been noticing how much he's been staring at me and I find that I do the same..." she explained, bitting her lip. Would Brae get it? The blonde was unsure... "...And then I told him that I really really liked him." She took a deep breath and sighed. "And I've probably ruined the whole thing.." She looked down briefly, upset at herself for doing so. Maybe she shouldn't have done that at all. Emma looked up at her friend with her brown eyes. "But.. It was killing me not to tell him how I felt."

Carter chuckled. "Oh. You wish." he said with a smirk. Besides, it would be dangerous for her to have so much candy. He was pretty sure Destiny could find candy anywhere within 20 feet of her. And he was not about to lose this big bag to her.

"How about we just take a walk down the street?" he suggested. "It's nice today. A little walk would be fun."

Caroline grinned of course she was joking. There was no way that even her would eat all of that candy. "Can I at least carry the bag, I want eat all of it." NOT

She nodded, "Sounds good too me." taking his hand and walking to the door to the street. "Although I do need somerhings from Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop. While I'm here."

Orabelle giggled at Dani's comment about summer swimwear. Merlin she couldn't wait for the summer to come. "Exactly, besides, the galleons to muggle money does work in our favor," Orabelle pointed out before choosing some chocolate frogs. She was a complete sucker for chocolate... ugh. It was horrible but she definitely loved it. "So, how does hanging out in Italy over the summer sound? I'm going to be visiting my cousin then and it'll definitely be more bearable with some cool people around," Orabelle said. Her cousin shouldn't even be allowed back in Europe if it was up to Orabelle.

Dani laughed- "It so does" she nodded and she looked at the chocolate frogs 'Belle had picked up and smiled- "I'm more of a sweets person" she laughed, glad she had never really been a 'chocoholic' so to speak- she did like the stuff though. She smiled at what 'Belle said next- "Yeah, that sounds awesome!" she said with a nod- plus, Italian guys were hot, she'd get to be with her fried, Italy was beautiful- why not?! "Of course" she nodded. "Italy's gorgeous" she remarked with another big smile.

Nika walked around the shop after having hugged the one angry little first year Slytherin. What's with them and being against hugs anyways. Hmph. Well Nika needs some more. Even if she did have 21 she wanted to be able to report having hundreds so that she would win the competition for sure. AH and there are two right now!

Nika stood and watched them at first. Should she interrupt their conversation for a hug? Well... She could and get yelled at. OR she could leave and miss her opportunity for two hugs. If only Nika wasn't so competitive. Right well she chose the first option of course.

She walked over slowly and smiled at the pair of them. "Hi. I'm Nika. Happy hug a slytherin day!" She said as she reached over and hugged both of them. She then backed away hoping that they wouldn't send any hexes at her like Isobel said they might. Luckily up till now the second year had only been yelled at and sent angry glares.

Ellie smiled at her blonde friend as she waited for her to pay, popping a chocoball in her mouth. MERLIN'S SOCKS, that was to die for. Ellie was addicted to chocolate. Someone call the police.

As she continued chewing her candy, Ellie listened to her friend talk about her and Braeden meeting up in the Three Broomsticks. She smiled a little when she said that she noticed he had been staring at her a little. Ellie could tell that Emma really liked him, a lot. But a little frown appeared on her face when Emma told her that she probably ruined it all. When she looked Ellie in the eyes, Ellie grabbed her friends hands and gave them a comforting squeeze. "Aw, Emma. You honestly don't that you ruined it, do you?" She pulled her friend backward a little, away from the counter and the line of people. She gave her a comforting smile. "Emma, he would be crazy to not like you back. And I'm almost positive that he does, I see the way he looks at you." Ellie said with a comforting smile. "You did the right thing, the best thing. I'm sure of it." And she pulled Emma into a hug.

Orabelle giggled and nodded. "Sweets are great, but let's face it, chocolate is heaven in a box," she said as she picked out a few more. She never did care about the cards in it. It had always been the chocolate that mattered to the brunette. "Great, I don't know how I could bear to be around my cousin without anyone interesting," she said, letting out a relieved sigh. She did not want to be around her cousin that often. How horrible would that be? "Isn't it? Especially boy watching by the beaches," Orabelle said with a little giggle. 'Cause they were cuh-yooote there.

However, Orabelle was pulled from her happy world when she was hugged by some freak... AGAIN. She glared down at the annoying little bug who decided to invade her happy world, from her safe world, from her world free of people contaminated with losers. "What... are... you... doing?" Orabelle managed through gritted teeth as she stepped away from the girl. Ugh. How horrible were these Hogwart students? They hugged people... randomly! Who did that? Honestly?!

"Miss Nika, get this through your head, do nawt hug me, do nawt get near me, bloody hell, do nawt even breathe my air!" Orabelle said still glaring at the girl with her grey eyes. Because who gave this... thing the privilege of even looking at her?! NO ONE.

She knew this was coming. Sort of. Another angry snake nothing out of the ordinary. Their whole house seemed to be angry quite often. Maybe that's something the sorting hat looks for when he places people into slytherin. Maybe the sorting hat looks for people who are against hugs because slytherin is full of those too. Well it's obvious isn't it? She's hugging the snake, duh. Nika opened her mouth to answer the girls question, but then shut it after deciding it was rhetorical.

The twelve year old new what was coming. So what she's gotten plenty of angry snake speeches before. Nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe not quite this angry. Oof. This ones a very, very unhappy snake. Right well Nika wasn't ready to cower and run away. No, she's a lion for a reason. "Sorry, I wasn't aware that a person could possess the air." She said nodding her head. "It must be a hard thing to do. You know because there is just so much of it." Yep, plenty of air around here. How could this girl own all of it? Well you've got to admire her enthusiasm.

Carter narrowed his eyes and gave Caroline a suspicious look. "I thought it was the responsibility of the guy to carry things?" he said before letting out a small laugh. "But... I guess if you really want to I can make the exception." After he took out his share of course.

"Oh. The Quill shop. I think I may need to pick up a few." he had a bad habit of not looking in bags and confusing real quills with the sugar kind. Of course... he catches the confusion only after ruining a perfectly good real quill.

ooc: to the quill shop!

Orabelle glared at the girl who seemed to wisen up a smidgen and decide to close her mouth as soon as she opened it. Good because if she head Miss Nika say one more word she would not be held responsible for what happened next, especially since she was the one who had hugged people randomly. How did these pipsqueaks even know she was Slytherin? She was wearing no article of clothing that indicated it in the least and she was tempted to squash the girl under her suede ankle boots like a bug.

As the girl spoke, Orabelle ignored her completely and pulled out her bottle of Chanel No. 5, spritzing the air. "Don't talk, you're contaminating the air," she said still glaring at the girl as she inhaled the lovely notes of amber, jasmine and vanilla. Much better than the words that the younger girl thought were important.

*Walking in behind Marie with his arms around her he made ohh and aww sounds in her ear at all the sweets. It had been a playful day and now they were getting a bit hungry. Slowly untangling his arms from around her Matty took Marie's hand and walked over to the fudge.*
"See anything you like?"

Marie was immensely enjoying her day with Matty. She didn't think it could get any better... until they walked into Honeydukes and the smell of the sweets hit her nose. Not that she overly ate the stuff but the smell of the chocolate was enough to make her mouth water.

Holding Matty's hand she followed him to the fudge. Grinning she looked him up and down. "Oh yeah, I definitely see something I like."

Oh wait. He was talking about the candy here wasn't he.

Shaking her head a bit she turned towards the fudge display. "Um, the walnut or the maple. I like both of them. What about you, see anything you like?" Was that a chocolate fudge dragon in there?

*Seeing her look him up and down he couldn't help but laugh. He liked watching her check him out, made him not feel bad for always looking at her.*
"What?"
*Oh crud, he got lost looking in her eyes again. Shaking his head he looked at the fudge and frowned.*
"Hmm I like the strawberry fudge... or just plain chocolate. Is that a chocolate fudge dragon?"

Nika looked at the girl as she raised an eyebrow. She was taking out her perfume? What? Does it look like the time to take out your perfume? Nika started to cough as the perfume was sent into the air around her. "Ew." She wasn't really fond of that particular scent. Besides the candy shop smelled just fine without the slytherin having to spray it down. It's a candy shop for Merlin's sake it's supposed to smell like chocolate! Not whatever this stuff is.

"Contaminating the air? Don't you mean, your air." She asked rolling her eyes. How thick could you get? This girl is just full of herself isn't she. Nika glanced over at the girl who she was talking to before she had been hugged. How could that girl even stand being in the same room as this girl. How did this slytherin even make friends?!

Was the boy not listening to her or what? The way he was staring into her eyes she was going to go for the or what.

Strawberry fudge? How had she missed that? She did love strawberries but would they taste good as fudge? Maybe they would have to get some so she could try it. "Yeah, that would be a chocolate dragon. Maybe we should get a couple of them." Along with some of the other fudges... and ice mice and sugar quills and chocolate frogs and licorice wands...

Okay, so maybe she had more of a sweet tooth than she was willing to admit.

*By the look on her face Matty could tell she was thinking about getting more than just the dragons. Those dragons did look good though, and Marie, and the fudge, and the giant gumballs.*
"Maybe we best get a cart, I feel the need to stock up on sweets."
*He had a nice stash in his trunk in the Hufflepuff dorms but he gave some to a new first year and his friends because they were crying. Only way to get them to shut up. Then he got the sugar craze a week after school waking up in the middle of the night hungry. After that he gave the rest to a few second years and tried eating healthier. All thoughts of apples and salads were gone now though.*

She didn't know HOW it happened, but it did.

For the first time, Destiny Shepard was out of chocolate frogs. She had a feeling she knew who was behind it, but she was not going to jump to conclusions so soon. It didn't stop her from filling that person's shoes with pudding, though. That would teach that person, it would!

She had been in Honeydukes for about an hour, browsing and taking not so free, free samples of the CHOCOLATE frogs before she decided she had enough and made her way to the counter to pay.

FIVE GALLEONS!?

That was OUTRAGEOUS! But totally worth it.

Mentally thanking her brother for sending her those extra galleons, Destiny threw her hat on her head and grabbing her bags, she made her way to leave the shop. Until she spotted a familiar someone with a not so familiar someone and she, of COURSE, had to make her way over. "MARIE!" What was she looking at? Strawberry fudge? Eww. "Don't get that! I hear it's not even REAL strawberries. It's that artificial stuff and you know that is the stuff that will rot your teeth."

She was an expert, after all.

And yes, she'd wait to be FINALLY introduced.

Emma was just about to take a bite of her chocolate frog when Ellie grabbed her hands. No chocolate!, she thought immaturely. "Well.. Sometimes I feel like that I have ruined things." she admitted. And this Malfoy wasn't perfect at all contrary to common belief. D'aww Ellie! She blushed as she mentioned that he would be crazy not to like her back.. Hmm.... Crazy not to like her? Could be possible. She blushed again as Ellie talked about the way that Brae looked at her. Would the blonde ever stop blushing!? The blonde nodded and beamed Ellie a smile as she pulled her into a hug. Emma returned the hug. "Thanks Ellie. I really appreciate it." she began. BUT I WANT MY CHOCOLATE!!! The blonde reached into her bag and pulled out a chocolate frog. Yum. She took a bite of it and felt as if she was flying. There was no doubt that chocolate was heaven and a life saver. She chewed and then finished swallowing it. MMmmmmmmmm..

"Ellie, I know this is random. But what would you do if you had a time turner?" she asked, grinning madly. "I know what I would do. Go back to meet the inventor of Chocolate."

Ellie smiled sadly and shook her head. "Emma, you're probably the nicest girl I've met in years. You haven't ruined anything, I promise. You're great." She reassured her. Plus, Brae really would be crazy to not like her. And they would make such a cute couple too! Brae and Emma. Braemma. <33 Two of her best friends, dating? That would be just too stinking adorable. Ellie grinned as Emma's blush increased and as the thanked her. "You know I'm here for you, for anything." She said, releasing her from the hug. Emma was too adorable for her own good.

Surprised at the sudden conversation change, Ellie blinked a couple times and then laughed out loud. "You're right, that was extremely random." She told her. "But that is not a bad idea... If you ever do, take me with you!"

Rose ran into Hogsmeade and bought:
3 Chocoballs
7 Dark Chocolate Truffles
3 Toffees
2 Nougats

Emma grinned and blushed again. "Gosh.. Your making me blush too much!" exclaimed Emma teasing her. "But thanks. That's really sweet. And you, my Ravvie bestie are the nicest person in the whole of the Ravenclaw house! You can't deny it." Emma nodded, affirming herself. Yep, ELLIE COULDN'T DENY THE TRUTH NOW, could she? Teehee.

Emma took another bite of her chocolate. AAAAH! DELICIOUS! Heaven in each bite! Mmmmmm.. The blonde nodded. "Only a little random." she added, teasingly, wiggling her eyebrows. "No! Sure! And maybe we'll go sometime in December!" Speaking of December a smile appeared on her lips. "YOUR BIRTHDAY'S COMING UP SOON!" she cried. "What would you like for your birthday? A timeturner? It might be hard to find but I'll try my hardest."

D'aww, she made Emma blush! Ellie laughed at her adorable friend and nudged her lightly. Then Emma told Ellie that she was the nicest person in all of Ravenclaw. Ellie put on a mock look of offence on her face. "Only in Ravenclaw? Sure, I tell you you're the coolest person in the world, and I'm just a nice girl in Ravenclaw?" She scoffed sarcastically and dramatically walked away, down an isle of candy jars. But, a grin was set on her lips.

Before Ellie could comment back, Emma was talking about her birthday. And quite loudly too. Ellie giggled and shushed her friend. They were in a teeny candy shop right next to each other, she could hear just fine. She grinned. "I still have over a month, it's not until the 29th, Emm." Ellie told her with a chuckle. She shrugged. "You don't have to get me anything, really. It's just another day of the year."

Emma smiled and nudged her friend back. Yeah. Oh? Was she offended? "Well not only in Ravenclaw! Your up against a lot of people. Right now your tied with Fee for nicest girl!" she exclaimed, poking her tounge out at Ellie, which was an unusually childish thing for Emma to do. She popped another piece of chocolate in her mouth and chewed it slowly.

ELLIE WAS SHUSHING HER! Emma was going to make an announcement. "ATTENTION ALL SHOPPERS! It is Ellie Johanesen's Birthday!" she exclaimed, wearing a wicked grin, outloud. Then she added quietly. "Well in a month." Teehee. NOT GET HER ANYTHING?!?! SHOCK HORROR! Emma WOULD HAVE to get ELLIE SOMETHING! But what??! Hmmm.. Time to put on her thinking hat. Hmmmmm.... SHE COULD THROW HER A PARTY! Yeahh! That would be good. Or an all girl party. Mhm. Yep. Fantastic idea. "Another day of the year?" asked Emma, blinking her eyes quickly and being dramatic. "ANOTHER DAY OF THE YEAR? Well Miss Ellie. It is not simply another day of the year to me! It's YOUR birthday. Your special day and it only comes once a year!" she exclaimed. Ellie's earlier comment flooded back into her mind. I'm running out of time. Eep. This could be the last one.. She turned around and blanched. She didn't want Ellie to see her so pale or anything. No that would only worry her friend. And that wasn't the point. Emma turned around with a wide smile on her face.
